Got my copy in a 'Remainder' bookshop in the early '80's for £1.50.

Although mine is the second edition.

On a stack of 4 or 5 ..

Should have snapped up the others ...  :palm:

Ah well, I was probably always meant to be a loser ....  :bang:  :bang:

That is one heck of a price! Is there really people willing to buy at that price?

I expect it's worth what people are prepared to pay, like everything else.

Cheaper one here, but that's £40. Nearer the mark? Who knows.

Only a few years since a friend bought 11 pre-WW1 copies of the 'Magnet' comic. Tatty and dog-eared. Paid over £80 with auctioneers commission etc. but he seemed delighted. ( Mind you, his mrs. is pretty ugly so maybe 'orrible stuff is his thing ??  :lol: )

That's nothing, I've got a copy of this!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tactical-Folding-Knife-Anatomy-Construction/dp/0873418581/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1402232967&sr=1-5&keywords=Making+tactical+folders

It's a very good book but probably not worth £1,144.01  :thumbup:
